His place was ok , but there are plenty of tarps up on neighbouring homes. Just goes to show how random these storms can be Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/51744-storms/#findComment-770066 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjc Donating Members 2,823 Member For: 21y 8m 29d Gender: Male Location: Townsville Posted 18/11/08 04:06 AM Share Posted 18/11/08 04:06 AM Had no power for 26hrs from 5pm sunday to 6pm monday, bit of a joke really! One little storm that lasted I think about 10-15mins knocked out north west Brisbane here. Trees fell down everywhere and some small hail with thick rain but nothing compared to townsville and darwin storms.Goes to show they aren't prepared or have the electrical system sorted here as one little storm and a major city turns to sh*t...Electrical company wont be getting jack of me this month as up to 6hrs with no power in a major event I deem reasonable beyond that is a joke.

Well that's the report I received from a distance so hopefully it's correct Saw on the news that K Rudd was in town today though so all will be OK Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/51744-storms/#findComment-770308 Share on other sites More sharing options...
